Yee Haw! A Cowgirl Birthday!

We celebrated Hannah’s 3rd birthday with family this weekend. Our theme? Cowgirls, of course!

I planned and made the decorations and favors myself by spending very little and using things I already had on hand.

For example: Tissue paper poms! I bought a jumbo pack of pink and turquoise tissue paper and used about 9 sheets per pom, which made these pretties less than $1 each.

The cowgirl tree was made with an old Mason jar, some faux peat moss, branches from a Rose of Sharon in my backyard and scrapbook/cardmaking supplies I had in my stash. Cute!

Each child got to take home a jar of the dry ingredients to make Bakerella’s Cowgirl Cookies! I bought the jars at Hobby Lobby - $9 for a dozen. I had many of the ingredients on hand and bought chocolate chips, brown sugar and M&Ms. The pink bandanas are from Hob Lob also. I bought 2 for $1 and cut them into small pieces for the tops. I found the jute rope in my husband’s tool box and thought that it fit perfectly!
